Sling Class
Join us for our Sling/Hammock Classes. We have multiple levels for your comfort. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Sling Foundations
What is sling? Literally, it’s a set of silks rigged upside-down. In practice, it’s a little bit like every apparatus while still being completely unique! If you’ve ever tried lyra, trapeze, loops, or silks before, you may recognize some moves or sequences. If you’re brand new to aerial, never fear: you’re in for a fun journey. The one thing sling is definitely NOT is aerial yoga: you will be moving and sweating in this class! We’ll talk about spinning, inverting, sequencing, and finding cool moves all within the loop of the sling.
We recommend students wear or bring clothing covering their midriff, armpits, and backs of knees. Sling will feel a little squeezy at first, but the more time you spend on the apparatus, the more comfortable you’ll feel!
Prerequisites: none! Just come with an open mind and a willingness to try something new.

Sling Layering
So, you’re getting pretty comfortable on sling and want to take your journey in the Slingdom to the next step. In Sling Layering, we’re gonna get weird! We’ll build on the skills covered in Sling Foundations and dive deeper into wrap theory, improvisation, momentum, and pathway exploration. We’ll start stacking drops and learning skills from standing in the sling, as well as putting together some longer and more intricate sequences.
We recommend students wear or bring clothing covering their midriff, armpits, and backs of knees.
Prerequisites:
- Straddle from standing in the sling and ability to pull back up to a shoulder lock-off
- Comfortable getting into and out of climber’s seat, hug, and seatbelt
